Direct Unpack: Jobs will start unpacking during the download, reduces post-processing time but requires capable hard drive. Only works for jobs that do not need repair. Will be enabled if your incomplete folder-speed > 60MB/s

Reduced memory usage, especially with larger queues

Removed 5 second delay between fetching URLs

Notifications can now be limited to certain Categories

Each item in the Queue and Filelist now has Move to Top/Bottom buttons

NOTE: Due to changes in this release, the queue will be converted when 2.2.0 is started for the first time. Job order, settings and data will be preserved, but all jobs will be unpaused and URL's that did not finish fetching before the upgrade will be lost!

Windows-only: Will now use MultiPar for verification and repair. MultiPar uses the latest optimizations, multiple cores and can utilize the GPU, resulting in repairs often being twice as fast. Created by Yutaka Sawada (Windows only) "Extra Par2 Parameters" are also passed to MultiPar For example: Set "/lc32" to enable GPU for repair (can also be slower!)

MemoryError occurred when opening the interface after long period of inactivity

Upgrade notices (from pre-2.x.x)

Windows: When starting the Post-Processing script, the path to the job folder is no longer in short-path notation but includes the full path. To support long paths (>255), you might need to alter them to long-path notation (\?).

Schedule items are converted when upgrading to 2.x.x and will break when reverted back to pre-2.x.x releases.

The organization of the download queue is different from 0.7.x releases. So 2.x.x will not see the existing queue, but you can go to Status->Queue Repair and "Repair" the old queue.
